Midweek League |
In the late 1890s, the Scottish League
fixture list ran to only 18 games. Because of this several clubs banded
together to form supplementary competitions. One of these was the Glasgow
& West of Scotland League. Formed in April 1898, its original line-up
consisted of St Mirren (the first champions), In 1902-03, Motherwell
and Airdrieonians replaced St Mirren
and Partick Thistle, both of whom left to join
another supplementary competition, the Inter City League. At the end of that
season, the former both finished top with 13 points but it was Motherwell who
triumphed on goal average. Airdrieonians left after
this season, being replaced by Hamilton Academical
– the last change in the league’s membership until it disbanded in 1906. The steady expansion of the Scottish League
after 1902 made it increasingly difficult for clubs to fulfil their fixtures,
with the result that many games either had to be held over until the
following season or double up as Scottish League matches with points counting
towards both competitions. The final blow for the league eventually
fell after the Scottish League’s AGM on 23 May 1906. Hamilton Academical and The accompanying results grids were
researched and compiled by Stuart Robertson ©, with some final tables
supplied by Stewart Davidson. |
